Lighting for a large entrance with low ceilings

We just bought a colonial farmhouse with really bad lighting. The entrance has 3 bad lights. Off to the side where it narrows to accommodate the powder room there are 2 brass and frosted glass granny flushmounts from the early '80s complete with floral decals. The main entry area was updated by the previous home owners in the late '90s with a super suburban bronze and glass semi flushmount. They all need replacing to more closely match the casual, cottage-y farmhouse vibe we're going for.

The space is 10x15 with standard 8' ceilings. I'm thinking about simply replacing the rose decal frosted shades with new milk glass schoolhouse shades. But what do I do for the main light in front of our double doors? We're redoing the entire house and need 3x the furniture we have now, so budget sensitive is better.
